"Is there anybody out there"...??

Yeah I'm here I thought I killed this thread! I hope to make it there this time. I might not ba able to get the time off work to go back in August though. I think seeing them at the fair would f'n rock though!

someone told me that the traffic is terrible around the state fair. how is the parking? will it take long to enter the venue?

Parking around the fair is not to bad. You can take the bus from any metro tansit parking lot or pay to park at the fair. The buss's run every ten minutes. Many people that live around the fair also will let you park in their lawn for a fee.

Another good idea, one which I have done for years, is park at the Minneapolis Campus of the U of M, and ride the shuttle. Plenty of parking for free and the shuttle runs all the time.

Also all the major shopping malls in the area run shuttles as well for free with free parking. Maybe not as often as the University lots. (near new stadium, private road the busses run on.)

I have found that homeowners in the area charge, and in some cases charge "Big Money" (pardon the pun) to park in their yards. The shuttles give you 'door to car' service for free.

the 27th of august is alex's birthday. will he be in a good mood or a shitty mood having to work on his birthday? will his family/wife be in attendence?

That is kinda neat to have him here on his B-Day. We'll have to keep our eye out for them. I am lucky enough to have seats close enough to figure it out maybe. 21st row plz 1...!!!

Got a buddy, with a buddy who has an extra pair in "section H" I think, grandstand 1st row.!! I'm getting more info on those, but they would be pretty darn good spots as well. He bought 10, not knowing who he could recruit to go. Offering at face value to friends currently...
